The Doctor then took up the question OF his re-

as his faithful parishioners and gave the reasons
upon which he based his hopes.

HIS IDEA OF THE CARDINALS ACTION.
my only possible Interpretation of Cardinal
Gibbonss action is that. while entertaining great
personal friendship for me. he was diplomatic
enough to be exceedingly sohcitous not
to offend Archbishop Corrigan and was anxious
to be able to say that he had no correspondence
with me- II will be a humorous result If. III his
anxiety not 10 offend the Archbishop. he Will nave

likely be the case the aggravaton OF the scandal
conseuuept upon nv continued suspension and my
accommodation Is very largely due 10 tae cul-
pablo diplomacy of Cardinal Gibbons IN his ex-
traordnary failure present Dr. Burtselis letter 10
the POpa !anda and to have the original OF copy oI
it on the official record in Rome. And stu worse
is his objectionable failing 10 answer Dr BurtseN

INTO THE CARDINALS WASTE BASKET
at WAS but at comparatively recent day that
1t was learned that Dr. Burtsels very important
letter to Cardinal Gibbons had actually
gone into the Cardinals waste basket.
After asceItaining this astounding fact,
the prelates and other ecceslastics
already referred to determined TO take steps to
undo the terrible, blunder. and Cardinal Gibbons,
no doubt ashamed of his action In the matter
promised his cooperation. The distinct under
standing was that l would, as l mad
always been willing TO do. go cheeriully
to Rome if i were properly invited
after the O utrage and Injustice that had been ut
upon me had been repaired. Cardinal Gibbons now
fails to keep his promise and to cooperate as ne mas
promise 10 do and even tries 10 deter those who.
moro diligently cODsiderate than he Tor the best
interests of religion and the Church. are trying
to open way by which the great scandal
can be stopped. am happy to say that ms efforts
to deter them have been absolutely futile In

that they have not and will not condemn anything

These things. he said in conclusion, together
with her facts not vet ready Tor the public, made
him feel sure that Justice would be done and he
woud be reinstatei.
